You can say a lot about Conte but that he makes excuses is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Real Madrid are trying their hardest to help the sale of Gareth Bale get under way. Not that they're gonna undersell him in today's transfer fee climate, but they simply don't want him at all. Zidane certainly doesn't want him as it compromises everything about how he wants to setup his team. It was seen in the second half of the season where Real stuttered various times and when Bale was eternally injured he was able to use other players and other systems. Only last night in their US tour preparing for the "El Clásico" meeting between themselves and Barcelona he publicly stated that the "BBC" (Benzema, Bale and Cristiano) won't necessarily be together in the coming season. When questioned about Bale (because Benzema is on course to sign a new contract extension) he said that he knows there's interest in him (Manchester United) and that if the money in today's current transfer fee climate is carried on that he wouldn't rule out something happening. Out of the three front men, Gareth Bale is the one the fans least want and out of the three he's the one that delivers least of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the whole Bakayoko not being fit was bollocks apparently, should be ready come the start of the season thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 We've given up on Keita and will try again next summer when he'll have a release clause. The worry there is Bayern Munich will compete for him - or other clubs want to bring him in. So then it will be a question of which club offers the most attractive prospect for his career + a fat pay packet. Southampton are determined to keep Virgin Van Dijk and plan on reintegrating him with the squad after having him train alone because he threatened to go on strike. I'm more gutted about this one, Van Dijk would be a fantastic CB to partner Matip. He's the one player I've wanted us to sign all summer. I was gutted when we were forced to end our interest because of the tap up report, but the stories last week of how we might still get him gave me a bit of hope. So that's two important targets we've missed out on. I certainly think we need to bring in reinforcements, however the prospect of wasting money in this insane market for players that aren't our top choice is pretty disheartening tbh.

And we play with a two man midfield, sometimes three if we are going with two strikers up top. This worry that players won't get game time is a bit irrational, considering our midfield players all possess something unique about them. If he's worried about first team opportunities, than yeah his best bet is Milan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other issue is Bayern you would expect would demand that he get a certain amount of minutes, otherwise what is the point of him going out on loan? Unless of course Bayern have given up on him and want shut of him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked great for Benfica, so he has the talent, but does he have everything else that is needed to reach his potential? That is why a loan deal with your option is preferred.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted July 28, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 28, 2017 KHR had some public comments i posted in his Milan transfer thread. The long and the Short is KHR said he had a long talk with Sanches and he doesnt want to leave but he wants to play To which KHR echoed that sentiment. He also stated if Sanches goes it will be for a 1 year loan deal only. Could just be lobbying but if you take him at his word the Chelsea rumours make no sense.

Rick Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 As things stand, we are sitting watching all of our competitors walk past us. It's pathetic, so much time wastes on two signings that weren't going to happen from minute one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Did Liverpool even plan any additional alternatives to Keita or VVD? There's one thing going after your main target, but there's also having a plan B should things take a turn. Only time will tell I suppose, but if they don't and end up getting stop gap signings, Klopp should be furious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
